After a sparkling first quarter of an hour, Olympique de Marseille gradually died out against FC Nantes reduced to 10 and conceded a 1-1 draw on Friday at the start of the 4th day of Ligue 1 at the Beaujoire stadium. .
Provisionally leader of Ligue 1 with a point lead over Monaco, OM have not yet met all the expectations created by ambitious attacking recruitment.
Carried by a sharp Vitinha, the Olympians made a perfect start to the match by quickly opening the scoring thanks to Sarr (4th), and then evolved into numerical superiority for 80 minutes.

These seductive beginnings turned out to be a flash in the pan. Marcelino’s men gradually sank into a messy game, and allowed FC Nantes, however lacking in confidence, to regain momentum and equalize thanks to their Egyptian striker Mostafa Mohamed (39th), now top scorer of the championship tied with the Monegasque Wissam Ben Yedder (4 goals).
With two defeats and two draws, the accounting result is not brilliant after 4 days for the players of Pierre Aristouy, fifteenth in the championship.
But Nantes can boast, as against Monaco last week (3-3), of having bent without breaking against a team far superior on paper and in a boiling context.
